Broadly it is an object of this invention to provide a machine of the type referred to above, with unique mechanism to feed record material in relation to the imprinting means.

Another object of the present invention is the provision of means to control the printing and issuing of receipts in single item and multiple item transactions, and to control the printing on an insertable slip.

Another object is to produce a machine of the character illustrated, which will print and issue a single item stub receipt or a multiple item stub receipt, said machine also being adapted to print duplicate records upon insertaole slips.

Another object of this invention is to provide a machine of the character referred to above, with novel means for printing the amount of a single item transaction upon the body and the stub of a receipt, for printing each item of a multiple item transaction and the total of all of said items upon the body of the receipt, and duplicate the printing of the total upon the stub of said receipt, said machine also being adapted to print duplicate records upon insertable slips.

Another object is to supply means to render the receipt printing and issuing means inoperative when a slip is inserted in the machine.

Still another object is to provide means to shift the receipt material back and forth in relation to the printing line to properly space records thereon.

A further object is to provide means to variably feed record material in relation to the imprinting means so that various types of receipts may be issued, depending upon the type of operation being performed.

A still further object is to provide means to feed a receipt 9. fixed amount forwardly and simultaneously print data thereon and to feed the receipt a varying amount rearwardly and forwardly in relation to the printing line to compensate for the above mentioned fixed feed to properly space the printed records on said receipt.

Another object is to furnish means governed by the machine controlling devices to automatically control the operation of the receipt printing and issuing means.

A further object is to supply means to indicate the number of items in a multiple item transaction, said indicating means being adapted to be automatically reset upon the completion of each multiple item transaction.

A still further object is to provide means to control the above indicating means so that it functions only in multiple item transactions.

Another object of this invention is to provide a novel resetting mechanism for two sets of consecutive number type wheels, one movement of said resetting mechanism being adapted to reset one set of'said type wheels and another movement of said mechanism being adapted to reset the other set of type wheels.

A still further object of this invention is to provide various interlocks to enforce the proper operation of the machine.

Another object is to provide novel means, effective in multiple item transactions, to control :{he depression and release of certain control eys.

With these and incidental objects in view, the invention includes certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, the essential elements of which are set forth in appended claims and a preferred form or embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawings which accompany and form a part of this specification.

In said drawings:

Fig. 1 is a transverse sectional view as observed from the right of the machine, taken through one of the amount banks, and showing in particular said amount bank and its associated differential mechanism.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the machine as observed from the right and illustrates in particular the transaction bank and its associated differential mechanism.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of the keyboard of the machine embodying the instant invention.

Fig. 4 is a detail view of a part of the mechanism for shifting the rear totalizer line laterally
